I {heart} Hearts ...

We are in the final countdown before everyone heads off to college.  It is an exciting time around here and a sad one too.  Between Bethany telling me that this is her last time to live here since she will be at school now until she graduates and Michael heading off for his freshman year, I'm getting teary eyed already.  My cardmaking and posting are going to be taking a backseat for the next two weeks.  Right now, I'm all about my family.  First event ... hitting the fairways (hopefully) tomorrow afternoon in the 100 degree weather. 

Since the Mom strings are getting tugged at (and the umbilical cord cut completely ... hehehe), I wanted to make a card with hearts.  This card was inspired from the new catalog on page 157.  I believe this will be heading to Bethany in a couple of weeks.

Stamps:  I {heart} Hearts, Whimsical Words

Paper:  Basic Gray, Island Indigo, White

Ink:  Basic Gray Island Indigo, More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler

Accessories:  square lattice embossing folder, Cherry Cobbler seam binding, dimensionals, corner rounder, metal piece (non SU)

I'm off to meet Michael for lunch.  He is taking his history classes this summer at the community college and we have a lunch date after class today!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Something new has happened over at the Pals blog.  Head on over and check out their new look.  Today's challenge is the inspiration photo below.
 

When I look at the picture, I see all sorts of colors and objects.  What do you see?  Here is what I took from the picture ...

Stamps:  Printed Petals, Things I Love, Whimsical Words,  Punched Posies

Paper:  Black, White, Poppy Parade, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Tangerine Tango

Ink:  Poppy Parade, Black, White, Rose Red, Regal Rose

Accessories:  Stickles by Ranger, Ribbon (non-SU), Dimensionals, Flower Punch, Itty Bitty Circle Punch, Bitty Button, thread (non-SU)

All products are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

I feel I captured lots of color and stamps on this card.  The red shoe is what I started with and went from there.  I used the sentiment from Whimsical words since I thought it brought meaning to the shoe...follow.  The white flowers came from the white flower in front of the red shoe.  I added the pink flowers since they really jumped out at me. 

It's always fun to do challenges and see what happens.  I hope you will click on over to the Pals website and play along.

Have a great day,
Pam~
